Overview

About 118 New Bedford Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

118 New Bedford Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 1DF). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1994 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows an F (score 21), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Held since October 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 185 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £512,000 sits 159.9% above the 2000 sale of £197,000. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension, subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
